Demand is steady for casino gambling workers due to construction of new casinos. Another source of high demand for casino workers is the development of the gaming industries in Nevada and New Jersey. Job growth is expected to be strong as states allow more gaming activities such as card games. Also, more states may allow casinos as they seek more tax revenue.
The long-term outlook for gaming depends on economic conditions. In the near future, opportunities for jobs should be good for those with training and experience. Workers who are willing to relocate should also have good opportunities.
